American Fatalities

His numbers are wrong, I can't speak for every month but even liberal media sources reported that July 07 deaths were lower then July 06 deaths

US Casualties By Calendar Year
Year US Deaths US Wounded
2003 486 2408
2004 849 8002
2005 846 5948
2006 822 6398
2007 750 4430
Total 3753 27186

We still have a little less than 4 months to go
Looks like we'll easily "exceed" US deaths, by years' end....I'd wait and see, were I you.

Do you have anything to support your statement???

I check out several media sources, both lib and con, and all that I have seen claim otherwise.

I'll find something

it was on the front page of the Albnay Democrat Herald, the local newspapaer

it might have been "lowest in 2007"

My Way News - U.S. Toll in Iraq Lowest in 8 Months

we also have more ground forces in Iraq which are invloved in more conflict then last year as well.

So are you saying that our occupation is failing?

no I'm saying more soldier fighting more often will obviously lead to more deaths

and this belongs in "International Politics" because it concerns other countries and forigen policy

But you just stated that there were not more deaths.

I revised it, and the death tool is still ridiculously low by war standards, you failed to mention that

Sorry dude, didn't know you revised your statement. I stand corrected.

His numbers are quite accurate, as almost month per month we have lost MORE soldiers so far than preceding months.

Iraq Coalition Casualties

"I also call on you not to hate the peoples of the other countries that attacked us and differentiate between the decision-makers and peoples. Anyone who repents - whether in Iraq or abroad - you must forgive him." -- Saddam Hussein, from his last letter before execution.

I couldn't help but think that if Jr. was in the same predicament he'd be throwing a childish little temper tantrum screaming "but I'm the decider, I'm the decider!" And Karl Rove would be in the cell next to him agreeing, "yes Mr. President, they can't hang the decider... now just sign this letter Condi wrote for you." :wtf:

Am I reading this list wrong?
I see deaths going down from 2004, thus disputing the statement that more troops equals more deaths.

What is your resource?

I think he used 92's source. Nice link by the way 92.

If you mean my source, I just copied the original ( from Aaronssongs by way of 92's source ) and highlighted the numbers in question.
Doesn't that list show a slight downward trend?

It does, except 2007 isn't over yet.
